Man-Mana-Bhava

Mind is an instrument to get inputs of emotions from the outer world. It compiles these inputs and is supposed to put this input data to the intellect for decision of further actions.

Problem is that our mind is more attached to the outer world from where it is getting emotions whereas it should be attached to intellect from where it gets decisions for actions. Thus our challenge is to control our mind so that is is tuned to work in combination with intellect and Atma. If the mind is not in control, it will not have proper alignment of intellect and our actions will be deteriorated accordingly.

The aim of Gita and all religious scriptures is to find the ways to re-align our mind with intellect and Atma. The experience of connection or re-alignment of mind with Atma is the source of is spirituality. This altered state of mind is called as spiritual mind. The great Gurus generally reach to this state and the words uttered by them become scriptures.

In this spiritual transformation, we feel and experience our universalness as Atma is supreme and universal.

This awareness is the core consciousness (soul) is beyond our body, mind and intellect. This core consciousness is the part of collective consciousness (Peramatma) which is the main goal of life.

This state ( alignment of mind and Atma) is called as “Manmana Bhava” in Gita (Ch-9). Krishna advises Arjun to align his mind with Him (Atma) to be successful.

In managerial term, this can also be called as goal setting and then to be and to remain fully aligned with the goal to succeed to reach to goal.

All seekers tend to reach to this state to become successful in all spheres of life.
